After a treatment is administered to the individuals, the sample mean is found to be M = 33 and sample variance is s2 = 64. Which type of t-test would you conduct in this scenario? Conduct a hypothesis test to evaluate the significance of the treatment effect. Use a two-tailed test with α = .05. State the hypothesis, find the critical region, calculate your test statistic, and evaluate your hypothesis then calculate Cohen’s d to measure the size of the treatment effect.
